speech illustrates this point. For example, idiom refers to language use, which is specific to a particular people within a specific region, community or class. An idiom may be
syntactical or it may convey a meaning that is understood, but not readily apparent from the word usage. For example, saying a "Monday week" rather than a "the Monday a
week after next Monday" is an idiom (Idiom, 2011). An analogy is when the speaker compares two things that are dissimilar in order to explain the nature of one
of the items (Analogy, 2011). For example, a speaker might say that trying to learn to read for a child with dyslexia is like trudging through mud up to ones
knees. This analogy conveys the meaning of how difficult this task is. A metaphor is a word or phrase that contrasts one sort of object or idea with another
object or idea in order to indicate a similarity or an analogy between them (Metaphor, 2011). For example, a metaphor that indicates great wealth would be that the individual is
"drowning in money" (Metaphor, 2011). A simile, likewise, compares two dissimilar objects in order to suggest an analogous relation that reveals the nature of the first object, utilizing the
simile by using the words "like or as" (Simile, 2011). For example, saying that the girls cheeks are "like roses" is a simile that emphasizes the beauty of the girls
face (Simile, 2011). A clich? refers to anything, a "trite phrase" or a "hackneyed theme," which has been so overused that it is exceedingly familiar and commonplace to the public
(Clich?, 2011). For example, the reliance of macho policemen in Hollywood films is a clich?, as are phrases, such as "finding your way and keeping the faith" (Clich?, 2011).
